Marketing Specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/6/2026 "DO NOT EVER BUY THIS" 0/5 What do you like best about mSpy? MSPY is a scam. DO NOT BUY IT! It does not work, then they will try to charge your for tech support. They won't be able to fix it then you will ask for a refund and then they won't give your money back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about mSpy? It literally does not do what it claims to do. They are lying on their website about the capabilities. It does not integrate with iPhone. The UI/UX are horrible because the software does not work as they describe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gambling & Casinos 10/15/2025 "Absolute scam" 0/5 What do you like best about mSpy? Nothing It was a horrible scam that never worked for me not for one second and they refused to give me a refund after knowing that I can't use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about mSpy? I am quite frustrated with mSpy's misleading setup information and poor customer support. Initially, I wasn't told I needed physical access to the device I wished to monitor, which was not possible for me. This information was only revealed after I purchased the service. Furthermore, when I contacted customer service to explain the issue, they suggested purchasing a $100 upgrade for remote access, which turned out to be ineffective as the service still didn't work. Despite being charged this additional amount, the software has not worked a single day, nor has it solved any monitoring needs as promised. My request for a refund was denied, with them offering only to freeze my account instead, even though I had made it clear from the start that I would never have access to the device. The entire experience felt like a scam, leaving me with wasted resources and unresolved issues. Additionally, there is a lack of transparency and upfront communication about what the service entails and requires. I find the customer service unhelpful and unaccommodating, especially when it comes to refund policies, reinforcing my belief that the service was not worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is mSpy solving and how is that benefiting you? The product solved no problems for me as it never worked, even with a $100 upgrade, rendering its promised monitoring capabilities ineffective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TF Tracey F. Chief Operating Officer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/11/2025 "Worst application. Do not make the same mistake I did." 0/5 What do you like best about mSpy? It will track messages, no social media! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about mSpy? It will not monitor SnapChat or any other social media application that needs to be monitored for children. I asked for a refund after trying for 30 minutes, but they said their refund policy protects them from pretty much any refund you want. Absolute garbage! I am so frustrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is mSpy solving and how is that benefiting you? They are not solving any of my issues with the program and they said they cannot support any Social Media, which is what they market to concerned parents. This is an absolute rip-off. Do not be a sucker like I was....this is an awful platform that does nothing for concerned parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerSource: Organic FA Fahim A. Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/3/2022 "Not Worth at all" 0/5 What do you like best about mSpy? I could not see anything beneficial at all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about mSpy? A refund is an absolute joke. They keep changing direction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering mSpy: PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE SCAMMERS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is mSpy solving and how is that benefiting you? I purchased this product based on some top 10 review sites, which I believe is a cartel site. The product description lists everything that you want to hear, but it does not work at all. They encourage and advise you to jailbreak your iOS, which I thought was an absolute joke. After trying to work for three days, I decided to cancel the subscription and request a FULL REFUND. Since I started asking for a refund, I got emails after emails offering discounts from 25% to 75%, which I ignored. But I did not receive anything about the REFUND. Then started a live chat session, in which they started offering to freeze my account until such time I needed it. No matter what I said, they were unwilling to provide a refund. I was asked to email their billing team, which kept bouncing back. They gave three separate emails, and all bounced back. My strong advice is, PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE SCAMMERS.

Nothing was good about this app - I do not recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about mSpy? After I purchased, I found out that there is limited functionality for non rooted phone. I was still ok with this but even the limited functionality was not working. What was WORSE was that the app is visible on Android 12 (google pixel 4) . I messaged with customer service many times in the two days I was trying to make this work and the end result was that it's visible in the play store and therefore USELESS. Customer service forwarded for a refund and I deleted the app. Now they are coming back to say the reason its not working is because the app was deleted. Ridiculous! Please refund me money and I don't recommend using this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is mSpy solving and how is that benefiting you?
